Default Can anyone ID this movie about a startup?

Saw this post on Ask MetaFilter and it's been driving me nuts. I've scoured Google and IMDB to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

Help me identify this dotcom boom movie?

What is the name of this movie about a video-streaming startup?

About six months ago, I watched a movie (fictional) about a Silicon Valley startup during the dot-com boom, and for the life of me can't remember its name - two hours of Googling and searching IMDb turned up nothing. It's definitely *not* Startup.com or Pirates of Silicon Valley.

Here is what I remember:

- The founders are friends at a Bay Area university (probably Stanford)
- The main character's mentor is a business school teacher, who later turns out to be an important venture capitalist (I think he takes the student out flying in an airplane)
- The startup's product was a video streaming service - however, during their demo, their computer actually catches fire
- The protagonist gets caught cheating by his girlfriend after she receives a video of his antics in a car
- The protagonist ends up in Mexico, on the run after a fight in the boardroom, and has his Porsche stolen
- It was filmed a year or two after the bust

None of the above proved fruitful in searching online. Has anyone seen this movie? I'd love to rewatch and show some friends - the movie itself wasn't particularly great, but they nailed a lot of the startup archetypes. Thanks!
